[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nanny salaries posts are kind of like the money and finance forum.  Everyone makes a huge salary of 30$/hr plus 8 weeks of paid vacation, health care and a car.  Just like $300K/year is poor in the money and finance forum.  Use the information with care.[/quote]

Nanny here.  I do earn $28 an hour with full healthcare and a great car (Lexus 350).  Two weeks vacation - I have never met any nanny who get eight weeks, btw.  I am anAmerican, a college graduate, and have teaching experience.  [/quote]

I would not consider you a typical nanny due to your teaching experience nor do you receive a typical compensation package. You also didn’t post where you work or your job duties. Is the car yours or the nanny car?[/quote]

Then you don’t know much about qualified nannies and why they can earn a good package. For nannies that are actually qualified, professional, and excellent this is most definitely a typical package. [/quote]

DP.  [b]Then by your definition most nannies are not qualified.[/b]  Very few nannies are American, have a college degree, and have teaching experience.  That simply is not the norm.  The typical nanny - who will not have the same qualifications - will not surprisingly earn less.[/quote]

Duh.

Hence why it’s laughable when ppl claim their $15/hr nanny is so amazing. [/quote]

No, it's laughable that you think a nanny can only be amazing if she is American, has a degree, and has teaching experience.  Those are not the things I would necessarily look for in a nanny for a baby or toddler.[/quote]

Why would you? If all you can afford is the nanny who doesn’t speak English with limited experience then that’s what you settle for. When you are offering $15/hr you aren’t meeting the top of the chain.  [/quote]

Where did I say I couldn't afford more?  I said those "qualifications" aren't the most important when I look for a nanny.

I could afford a Maserati, but being able to reach 120 mph in seconds, is not what I look for in a car so I have something that is less expensive.[/quote]

This is such BS. You look for a foreign born nanny who isn’t a citizen and who isn’t educated just so you can have her over a barrel - she’ll work for cheap, you can work her extra hours for no pay, have her do a lot of chores around your house. You couldn’t afford a Maserati and you can’t afford a nanny, but you want a Slavs and you want your vacations that you can barely afford to happen. [/quote]
